    Oscar Award Actor Gene Hackman, Wife Found Dead At Home

    Oscar-winning US actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa have been found dead at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

    In a career that spanned more than six decades, he received two Academy Awards, two Baftas, four Golden Globes and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

    A statement from the Santa Fe County Sheriff in New Mexico said: “We can confirm that both Gene Hackman and his wife were found deceased Wednesday afternoon at their residence on Sunset Trail.

    “This is an active investigation – however, at this time we do not believe that foul play was a factor.”

    Hackman won the best actor Oscar for his role as Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle in William Friedkin’s 1971 thriller The French Connection, and another for best supporting actor for playing Little Bill Daggett in Clint Eastwood’s Western film Unforgiven in 1992.

    His other Oscar-nominated roles were in 1967 movie Bonnie and Clyde – as Buck Barrow in his breakthrough role – and 1970’s I Never Sang for My Father, as well as playing the agent in Mississippi Burning (1988).

    Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza confirmed the news to local media just after midnight on Wednesday that the couple had died, along with their dog.

    The news was later confirmed to the Press Association news agency. Hackman was 95 and his wife 63.

    Mr Mendoza said there was no immediate indication of foul play. But he did not provide a cause of death or say when the couple might have died.

    “All I can say is that we’re in the middle of a preliminary death investigation, waiting on approval of a search warrant.”
